Grarg, the thirty-first snuck up on me. And my e-dictionary is saying snuck isn't a word. >_> At any rate, I have no pumpkin to carve, and I can't quite make out what that first pumpkin is supposed to be. I get the feeling I'm going to be shunned for such.

My chemistry class made chemistry related jack-o-lanterns, but I'm afraid I don't have any pictures. My group made a chlorine radical. Highlights included a glucose molecule, and 3 resonnance structures of benzene with the third having a scary face.

That's pretty good, though, AO. Lot of small detail there that I probably would have screwed up. Is that from a pattern?
So disappointed that there aren't more posts. And PS: Totally shunning Suunok right now.

Hahaha...thanks! That's from a pattern - we got one of the kits with the little saws, etc. I'm not nearly creative enough to have thought of that myself. The last few web holes were a nail-biter though - too much more back and forth with the saw, and I would have ripped a pretty good hole in it because it was so porous.
I like yours also. Here's another one from a pattern 2 years ago. -------------------- You don't scare me, you talking blobs of oozing slop! I am impervious to pain! |

That pumpkin with pi carved into makes me wish my teachers were that cool to let us do that kinda stuff in class. It's awesome, as are all the other pumpkin pictures posted here.

Bumping this topic, only six days until Halloween. Anyone doing a carving this year?
I'm going to try something new for me, but I just got my pumpkin today and I'm not sure when and if I'll be able to do it. -------------------- "To create something great, you need the means to make a lot of really bad crap." - Kevin Kelly Why aren't you shopping AmaCoN? |

So, sadly, I didn't get my pumpkin carved in time. However, there's still a chance I might, so if I do I will post it anyway.
In the meantime, I changed the topic so we can share our costumes as well as our pumpkins. Here are a couple from our costumes this year: This post has been edited by Rangers51 on 2nd November 2009 14:29 -------------------- "To create something great, you need the means to make a lot of really bad crap." - Kevin Kelly Why aren't you shopping AmaCoN? |

Here comes the bump again, we're just a few weeks away. I've got a costume planned to match the one my mom and I made for the baby, if I have time to put it together. I bought two great pumpkins (Charlie Brown) last weekend, but as yet I have no idea what to carve into them.
Do you guys have any plans for Halloween this year? And, here's a photo I didn't post last year; we didn't do much as my wife was traveling for work, so the little one and I gave candy to trick-or-treaters and played with her first jack o'lantern. -------------------- "To create something great, you need the means to make a lot of really bad crap." - Kevin Kelly Why aren't you shopping AmaCoN? |

Your baby is beautiful!
There's a non-profit anime / gaming convention going on in town this year for youth programs the weekend before Halloween, so I'll actually get to be Terra Branford for the holiday this year. xD After that my husband and I will be throwing on our renaissance gear for classes just to make our respective class mates nervous. We're going to get some pumpkins here soon but have no idea what to carve into them. The best part of that though, is the baked pumpkin seeds that come after the carving, and throwing on a marathon of our favorite campy horror movies, and well...Aliens. Because yes. :3 This post has been edited by St Khael on 9th October 2012 13:12 -------------------- |

Now I just have to find a pumpkin somewhere... As usual, I am having a really hard time figuring out what to do for a costume. As usual, I expect to come up empty-handed and show up as a triathlete or something lame. -------------------- Currently Playing : Final Fantasy V Most Recently Beat : Elder Scrolls: Skyrim Favorite Game : Final Fantasy X The newest CoNcast is up!

I've got a costume planned to match the one my mom and I made for the baby, if I have time to put it together. My costume is probably about to fall by the wayside since I live way out in the country and sourcing the clothing I need for it would either be really expensive to get to my house or very difficult to find semi-locally because my family's currently down to only one vehicle. Hoping I can remedy that somehow. -------------------- "To create something great, you need the means to make a lot of really bad crap." - Kevin Kelly Why aren't you shopping AmaCoN? |

I will be dressing up as Dr. Mario. I'm pretty much done with the costume at this point, which is great - I made a giant half-red-half-blue pill that can be opened. I plan on storing candy in it.

Halloween came early for us this year thanks to a mini non-profit convention down at the local anime shop and figured I'd share our costumes, unfinished though they may be. : 3
Countless 'thank yous' go to Ms. Relm Arrowny for her advice on Terra's make-up. Without her help, Terra wouldn't have looked nearly as good. !

Well, reading this thread inspired me to do a pumpkin for the first time. So here is the effort produced by my flatmate and me this afternoon:

Thank you, Relm! Your advice worked wonders!
Blinge, I didn't notice that until now. There was laughter. :3 Actually he's got a scottish thistle in his hands. I wish I'd gotten a better angle with the camera now. Also, carved an awesome pumpkin today. Enjoy! https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-snc7...815234675_o.jpg Proud of it except that one of the wing pieces fell out by accident.

OK, here are pumpkins and halloween costumes for the little one (I ran out of time to put anything together for me). All of these click through to larger versions.

I see you're teaching your little one to appreciate companion cubes. Always start early, huh?
---- It's Halloween. Which means that there's gratuitous yellow/orange/black coloration in silly places, and lots of candy prominently displayed in supermarkets, discussions of costumes and pumpkins, and stupid jokes about monsters and the dead. Oh, and my birthday. But there's one more thing. This site. I joined the Caves of Narshe forums around 6 AM on October 31, 2003. I finished FFVI shortly after enrolling in college, and it was a big thing for me at the time. Drove me to join two internet fora, the second of which was this. In one of my earlier experiences of staying up until crazy hours of morning, I remember joining this forum at around 6 AM, then hopping on a plane and heading back home to celebrate my birthday with my parents. The following few years, I was active at CoN, and enjoyed getting warm birthday greetings from y'all every time Halloween rolled around. But the past few years I've been less active at CoN. Then every year, as Halloween approaches, I suddenly get this odd feeling: Hey, wait, there's this place that I've spent so much time at, whose quality of discussions is top-notch, which combines a friendly, inviting atmosphere with lots of interest in RPGs. Oh, and they give me birthday greetings if I hang out there, even though I don't really deserve any since I forgot to do that. Despite playing RPGs less these days, I still like the genre very much (especially JRPGs; haven't much experience with WRPGs), and have fond memories of its powerful deliveries of narrative. And I still remember things like stopping FFVI just before the Floating Continent right before I graduated from high school to wait on continuing after I got into college. And I still remember the Caves of Narshe, even though I keep forgetting to hang out here. And I still haven't fully read the "Reverse-Engineering FFVI" article that I myself linked here. And I keep forgetting to use AmaCoN. And it seems that nature is starting a trend of producing major natural disasters a couple days before Halloween. Last year, it was the 2011 Halloween nor'easter (also known as "Winter Storm Alfred" to some folks, a name whose origin I am unsure of), and this year, it's been Hurricane Sandy. But at least it's good to see CoN still alive and kicking!
